Sick of the stupid media

The other day, the media bleated out that a solar system
had been found like "our own." Turns out of course that
the solar system was just another in a growing list they
suspect of having a larger than Jupiter planet orbiting a star.
Since we can't detect solar systems with Earth sized planets
yet and have no idea that one exists, where does the media
get the initial misinformation about these formations? Do they
simply make it up?

Nope, the news was similarly given in press releases. It is easier to say
you discovered a Solar System twin than a system that is unlike our own but
currently closest to in "resemblance".

Today's run-of-the-mill-talking-media-heads know no more about REAL
Astronomy than the peasants did in Galileo's time,
and that is a sad fact...

Having dealt with newsrooms for some 35 years, I can tell you that you are
giving them far too much credit.

The analogy was taken directly from arious press releases issued
by the astronomy centers. No news media could know enough to make up
this story.
Read the nes accounts from these centers as posted in this very
room.
